HELP!!! - I dont like drinking water

Sorry, but there's not much to say but, JUST DRINK IT..... not being harsh, but its like this, You have to, You need to, So make urself do it... Most of us dont like going to work everday dont we, but we do it everyday, cuz we have a reward at the end of the month- a paycheck. So just get a water bottle and take it with you wherever you go, and just sip on it ever so often...even if u're not thirsty. All the best!

I find it odd that people don't like the taste of water. What does it taste like to you?

I don't like or dislike it. It is what it is.... water.

Can someone share with me what it is about the taste that they do not like? Does it matter if it is tap water, or spring water or designer water?

You must drink it! I wouldn't say I loved water before but I do now. First thing to make it easier is to drink it with meals, take a sip between bites.

I also found I don't drink as much when it's in a plastic bottle. A month ago I got a glass water bottle (lifefactory from amazon)....and I drink so much more water when I'm at work now...if it was in a plastic water bottle, it would still be sitting there.

i do the flavored water from time to time. artificial i know and people will rant about that, but it helps. i like the mio. i also like to put a cucumber slice in my water. i hate cucumbers on their own, but something about adding it to water is very refreshing.

I drink iced tea in the morning (need the caffeine, sorry everyone - I put Sweet N Low in it too haha) and then water after that. I've used the low-calorie drink packets in it if I wanted a change of pace but otherwise I just make it happen. I'm not sure either what it is that people don't like about water (except I can't stand most well water and some city water is just too chlorinated) but the body needs it so if you can find a way, it's best to get it however you can! Good luck!

go grab a bottle of seltzer water

If you don't like water then don't drink water. Your body needs fluids, that's truth, but it really doesn't care if it's water, tea, coffee, soda, fruit juice or just liquids from the food you eat. Did you know an apple is 85% water?

Your urine should be light yellow and you shouldn't be thirsty, otherwise don't worry about the 8 cups a water a day. Water has no magical weight loss properties. Stay hydrated however you want and move on.

Water has been my biggest change. When I first started my journey, I DESPISED WATER and always have. You couldn't pay me to drink it. But, there were three things I noticed when I drank water.

1.) The first thing being that I lose more pounds in a week (weigh in every Sunday) if my water intake is 8 cups or higher.

2.) The second thing I noticed is that I definitely feel fuller when I drink lots of water.

3.) The third thing I noticed was that after about 25 days of drinking nothing (and I do mean nothing) but ice cold water, I LOVE IT! I have to drink water now. My body doesn't seem to function well if I don't drink it.

I experimented. I put fruit in my water to give it a little taste. I put strawberries, watermelon, lemon slices and lime slices in it. Then, I started to freeze it and have ice chunks in it. Now, I can drink it without the added fruit.

But just do it. That's the only good advice I can really give because the quicker you start drinking it, the quicker your taste buds and body will become accustomed to it.

Good luck!

Try tea or flavored water. You'll get used to drinking a lot of water. Sometimes you just have to do what you don't like to get results.

For me, that was the reason I didn't like it growing up and then going into my adult life.....it didn't taste like anything. I don't like food that doesn't taste like anything either.

But now, I cannot drink pure water and can always tell the difference between spring and pure. I am not touching tap water with a ten foot pole. Love spring water though....now!

It's good for you and free, what more could you ask for?

I will either drink tea or add a 5 calorie drink packet to one.. they have all flavors.. lemonade, pink lemonade, fruit punch, ect..

I do not like plain water either unless I am super thirsty, so I have to add stuff to it to make it drinkable.

Buy unsweetened frozen fruit, strawberries, blueberries, mixed fruit. In a blender, fill with cold tap water, add the frozen fruit and liquefy! Tastes great. I use mango, peaches, strawberry mix. I use 1 cup frzen fruit to 5 cups water. Adjust to your blender size and taste.

I drink coffee from the time I get up till the time I go to bed but I only allow myself to count 3 glasses of water towards my count. That's just my own thing. The rest of my water has to come from half and half flavored water.

I don't like tap water either. I only like filtered water--have you tried filtering your water with a Brita or something similar? Also, the temp of your water could make a difference. I like cold water, but drink less water in the winter because it just makes me too cold. Warm water won't get touched by me, although I know that some people love to drink warm water with lemon. I despise ice that has a freezer burn taste, and that will ruin a glass of water for me. In the summer, I like to put sliced fruit in my water. Some of my favorites are oranges, blueberries, strawberries, grapefruit, lemon and lime. You could try adding a cucumber slice to your water to make 'spa' water. Lastly, try drinking your water out of a different cup. I don't like water out of our glassware--it has a funny smell to me. Our coffee cups are fine for water as well as disposable plastic tumblers, which I will reuse for several days. If you want to try a special treat, try sparkling water with a splash of white cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. It's one of my favorite summer drinks.
